Popis: Adequate first ray function is essential to healthy human gait. Controversies still exist about aspects of human structure and function and many newer answers and theories have been proposed by a new generation of experts. Examples include the sagittal plane facilitation, tissue stress, and preferred movement pathway theories. This article also presents a summary of how to provide a thorough, detailed, and accurate first ray examination on the individual with limited motion. This article explores functional first ray mechanics in both a theoretic and biomechanical perspective, as well as a practical, hands-on examination perspective.
